ssh_known_hosts2: enhanced functionality for editing SSH's known_hosts files

This cookbook currently provides a single provider: ssh_known_hosts2_edit which edits, and does not template a known_hosts file. It does this by organizing the file into memory and overwriting it in a consistent way, but preserves all data in the file that already existed.
